Civil Service Commission | Proposed movement from the competitive to noncompetitive class of service

The New Jersey Civil Service Commission continues to evaluate titles that are appropriate for reallocation from the competitive to the noncompetitive class of service. These actions will provide State and local agencies with the flexibility and timeliness needed to meet their staffing needs.

The New Jersey Civil Service Commission (CSC) continues to evaluate titles that are appropriate for reallocation from the competitive to the noncompetitive class of service. These actions will provide State and local agencies with the flexibility and timeliness needed to meet their staffing needs.

The CSC plans to reallocate the titles Account Clerk Typing, Bilingual in Spanish and English (05301) and Account Clerk Typing, Multilingual in Spanish, Portuguese and English (07905) from the Competitive to the Noncompetitive class of service.

These titles have been identified for reallocation based on the criteria defined in N.J.A.C. 4A:3-1.2(c)1.

Competitive testing is not practicable due to the knowledge, skills, and abilities associated with the job. This is an entry-level title involving routine, repetitive, noncomplex clerical tasks
and has no experience requirements; hence, there is no skillset to be tested. Further, the corresponding base title, Account Clerk (00001), is allocated to the noncompetitive division.

We are certain this class of service reallocation represents a positive and welcomed step towards change in our business practices.

Questions or comments about this process should be directed to Staci Fanelli, Assistant Director, Division of Agency Services, CSC at Staci.Fanelli@csc.nj.gov. All submissions must be received no later than December 13, 2017.
